robertshaw.info Telecoms, Internet and Convergence  07 June 2002 KPNQWest Admins Keep Bankrupt Network Running Slashdot is reporting in its article KPNQWest Admins Keep Bankrupt Network Running on how some dedicated staff are keeping the KPNQwest network running (but for how long?). See my earlier article on this: KPNQwest Crisis and a lesson about Critical Network Infrastructure. Some of the NOC folks have got some web pages up to show they're doing their best.  9:26:34 PM    Google It!     Shifts in the US Broadband Regulatory Environment Salon has an article Getting a lock on broadband discussing how the regulatory environment in the United States is shifting vis-à-vis broadband.

The article also mentions ENUM. The newsletter report is somewhat more positive than the 60 page initial internal report entitled Benefits and Drawbacks of Introducing a Dedicated Top Level Domain within the UMTS Environment (2 page executive summary also available). The report indicates that at this time "a majority of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) were reluctant to favour the concept". This follows reporting in an ICANNWatch article on a .gprs top level domain being used for the private DNS of a GPRS Roaming Exchange (GRX) network.  10:28:13 AM    Google It!
